The speed a airplane needs to go to stay in the air, depends on the plane. Each plane has different factors, such as weight, manureverability and the conditions which it is flying in.
In general, the speed a plane needs to stay at, is the level of it's "Stall Speed". A "Stall", is when a airplanes engine/propeller stops moving. This gradually slows down the aircraft, which then will bring the plane lower and lower. Also the planes "Flaps", the parts of their wings that can tilt, can change the speed and how long it will travel until it will come to ground level.
Google Stall Speed and the plane you are inquiring about to get the exact figures.

What do planes need to fly?
air, speed, wings, a pilot (unless if your a UAV), balance, and a way of maintaining speed
What is the force that enables planes to stay in the air?
Lift
How do planes get into the air and stay up?
because they have engne that let theam go in high speed. And if you want to overcome the gravity and go outer space. You must have a speed of 250 000km an hour.
How do planes stay in the sky?
because the airfoil shape makes tiny air molecules at the bottom slow down and the top speed up. The engine just pushes the plane.
How do planes stay in the air?
As an aircraft's wing moves through the air at speed the air on top of the wing is forced to follow a longer path than the air moving underneath the wing [due to the spahe of the wing] This reduces air pressure on the upper surface of the wing and creates lift.
Why do you need paper air planes?
Paper air planes are source of fun and and interest to most kids. There are many different kinds of paper air planes that you can make. It depends on where and how that you want them to fly
Can planes get shot down easily?
If they are in the air so the answer is no, because if planes fly at high altitude and at high speed. It makes it alot difficult to get planes shot down.
Why do air planes have to down a runway?
There are some aircraft that don't need a runway, like helicopters and VSTOL planes, but by having a smooth runway for the aircraft to gather speed you end up using a lot less fuel.
Can air planes fly?
No... planes stay airborne because the air flowing on the underside of the wing is moving faster than the air flowing over the top of the wing. Without air movements - the plane cannot fly.
What keeps the plane in the air?
wings and speed are the main sources that keeps planes in the air! you can find out more by google it
Can planes fly without air?
No... planes stay airborne because the air flowing on the underside of the wing is moving faster than the air flowing over the top of the wing. Without air movements - the plane cannot fly.
was planes or jets invented first?
Planes. before they could master the creation of jets they first had to find out how to stay in the air using a motor and a frame light enough to glide through the air.
